Hi list, I got some fonts that represent some cartographic symbols and I would like to use it without install the fonts. Even if I install the fonts I would have many trouble to load it and find the one I want. Could you send me some suggestion to use this symbols ? I attached the image to explain what I mean.

Windows version: Internal error
by Oak 15 Sep '05

15 Sep '05

Hello, I use Inkscape on my Linux (after several years with Sodipodi) and I used also Inscape at work on WinXP. But now, I tried to install latest Inkscape on WinXP on my new laptop (due to problems with HW vs. Linux installation) as a partial solution, but I get "Iscape encountered an interanll error and will close now." message with "Close" button. There's no log file or whatever that could lead to the solution of a problem... I also tried to replace the binary executable for the "LATEST" available windows binary, but it doesn't work. Any ideas? Regards, Libor

Color fill
by Chuck Kelsey 14 Sep '05

14 Sep '05

Hello to the group. I'm new here and new to Inkscape. I've spent way too many hours on this, so I'm going to ask..... I have created an image of a plaque. The border around it is essentially lines and curves connected together until they meet at the starting point, then another that is one grid square inside of the first. I want to fill the area between the parallel lines (that form the border) with a color, then fill the inside of the plaque image with a different color. I can manage to get odd-ball areas to fill with color, but that's it. What am I doing wrong? Chuck

RESETTING DEFAULTS
by rock fest 14 Sep '05

14 Sep '05

HELLO INKSCAPE - I LOVE WHAT YOU PEOPLE ARE DOING! NOW I NEED TO KNOW SOMETHING. I'VE BEEN FOOLING AROUND FOR AWHILE, & READING EVERY POST ON THIS FORUM. I LIKE TO ANSWER MY OWN QUESTIONS FIRST, BUT NOW I'M STYMIED. USING 4.2 ON OSX.3.9 I REALIZED THAT WHEN I OPENED A NEW DOCUMENT IT RETAINED WHATEVER FORMATTING TO SHAPE FILL COLOR & LINE I HAD MADE WHILE FOOLING AROUND THE LAST TIME. TODAY, I DRAGGED 4.2 TO THE TRASH & INSTALLED 4.2.2 USUALLY, I LIKE TO TRASH THE PLIST FILE, CACHE, & ANYTHING ELSE I CAN FIND LIKE THIS TOO. OTHERWISE I'VE HAD PROBLEMS CARRY OVER OR EVEN NEW ONES CREATED ( I LEARNED THIS TRICK FROM APPLE SUPPORT FORUM , ERASING & REINSTALLING & UPGRADING OSX SEVERAL TIMES ). BUT I CAN'T FIND ANY OTHER FILES OR FOLDERS FOR INKSCAPE OTHER THAN THE APP ICON ITSELF, ANYWHERE ON MY COMPUTER. SO, JUST AS I FEARED, THE VERY SHAPE,COLOR & LINE MODIFICATIONS I PERFORMED LAST SESSION FOOLING AROUND UNDER 4.2 ARE STILL THE DEFAULTS FOR NEW DOCS UNDER THE NEW INSTALLATION OF 4.2.2, NOW, I WENT THROUGH ALL THE MENUS & PREFS I COULD FIND. DEFAULT BUTTONS FOR THE SHAPE TOOLS RESET THE SHAPES THEMSELVES BACK TO ORIGINAL, BUT NOTHING I FOUND WILL RESET THE COLOR OR LINE ASPECTS BACK TO A DEFAULT. SO, IS THERE A WAY TO RESET GLOBAL DEFAULTS FOR ENTIRE APPLICATION AT ONCE ? OR, FAILING THAT, WHERE IS THAT PESKY LITTLE PLIST FILE HIDING ?! - THANX FOR A GOOD TIME, ROCK FEST

Area Selection Tool?
by Chris Spencer 14 Sep '05

14 Sep '05

I really enjoy using Inkscape for refining and processing line art. Sometimes I'll use Inkscape to color, however, this requires me to create a new shape by meticulously tracing areas by hand. Is there any tool that would just let me click an empty area and have it automatically create a new shape by detecting the edges of nearby paths? This vector equivalent to the bitmap fuzzy-select/magic-wand tool would be extremely useful. Chris
